Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

A public health nurse is working with a community to improve access to mental health services. Which intervention is most likely to be effective?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Setting up mental health clinics in accessible locations makes it easier for community members to access the care they need.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is preparing to administer an oral medication to a client with dysphagia. Which action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Administering the medication with a small amount of pudding helps prevent aspiration in clients with dysphagia.

Question 3 of 5

A client with type 2 diabetes mellitus is admitted with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS). Which laboratory result requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A serum glucose level of 600 mg/dL is extremely high in a client with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) and poses a significant risk of serious complications such as dehydration, coma, and electrolyte imbalances. Rapid intervention is crucial to normalize the glucose level and prevent further deterioration. Serum osmolality of 320 mOsm/kg, serum potassium of 4.5 mEq/L, and serum sodium of 140 mEq/L, while important to monitor in HHS, do not represent an immediate life-threatening condition that requires urgent intervention compared to the critically high glucose level.

Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Installing a bedside commode provides an immediate solution to the client's difficulty accessing the bathroom.

Question 5 of 5

During a home visit, the nurse finds that an elderly client has multiple expired medications. What should the nurse do first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Reviewing the client's current medication regimen helps identify any potential issues and ensures that the client is taking the correct medications.
